Summer moved on into fall and the feed situation was critical. We just didn't have enough to winter on. Willis and I took a day or two and looked in the Redfield-Huron area for feed but didn't have any luck. Then all four of us went to Aberdeen & Haughton and stayed a day or two at Spencers. No luck there either. I was ready to give up and sell for what ever the cattle would bring.
Willis made one more trip to the Watertown Brookings area and found a place at Clear Lake to winter. I didn't want any part of it and said so. It was too far away and would cost $450 dollars if all went as planned.
I had a chance to sell my cattle for Seven hundred dollars. I wanted to sell and put the money in the bank and buy cows back in the spring.
I guess my buying two cars in less than two years must have spooked mom and she sided in with Willis and Lucille and so I gave in and the cattle went east for the winter.
